We saw some of the Asian X-games today. The only event
that was actually in competition while we were at the main site
was female wall-climbing, pretty impressive. We
enjoyed watching some skaters warming up, though, too.

Then we rented bicycles and rode about 5 km down the
river on a nice bike path to where the wake-boarding
competition was taking place. Sally had particularly
wanted to see this. We only got to see a couple of
competitors, but it was fun and gave us a nice rest
before biking back to the rental place. [continued below]

There was a good representative sample of energetic
Koreans on the bike path—other bikers, skaters,
walkers, runners and even a couple of funky little
scooters. Families, young and old couples and people
alone, casual exercisers and hard-core athletes. Very
enjoyable. The river Han is quite wide and pretty
scenic, taking into account the other half of the city
on the other shore.

Since my bike had a basket, I got to carry the frisbee

We went to a nearby neighborhood with lots of neat
shops and interesting signs and had lunch at a "good
restaurant" (it had a sticker that said this—Hal says
it's a rating system like AAA). We are getting more
used to Korean food and enjoyed the meal.

Back to the apartment and crashed afterwards. The
biking was quite tiring in spite of the level terrain.

Henry and I did work on our pictures, though, and I
will send off some additional messages with pictures
attached showing some of our previous excursions
before I go to bed.
